Sugar Lump Studios - Artwork by Nancy Maxwell James
A sweet smattering of mixed-media art!
I finished this Gothic Arch book that I had been working on for the past few weeks over the weekend. Lots of springy colors and Paper Whimsy images and alterables throughout it. It’s been awhile since I’ve made one — and it felt good to finally get some art done from beginning to end.
I came across this a few weeks ago on Pinterest and had to share…made me feel better about my artist self! ;) Happy Monday!
About Sugar Lump StudiosI am a dabbler. I love to create using all sorts of mediums...pattern papers, stamping, fabric, assemblage, collage, altered art, a never ending smattering of whatever strikes my fancy in whimsical moments. I find creating allows my soul to be fulfilled and love to spend hours in the studio.

Oh; how I love this arch book Nancy! Each page is as beautiful as the next one! Glad you have some sun and you can get the boxers out to enjoy! We have bright sun, blue sky but still very cold. We might luck out with warmer temps by week’s end. xo
I love your great little book, and thanks for sharing the little funny! Happy spring, Nancy! XO Sue
The combination of sweet faces, pretty papers, poetic word fragments and the sweetest of embellishments makes for a wonderful combination when in your artistic hands.
